Snow!

This photo is of Alexander with his first 'girlfriend' Rebecca taken in 2012 when he was 8 and we had some snow!!!  We seem to have avoided the the 'white stuff' so far but we have been known to have snow in April so I won't put my boots away yet!!!

 

I am joining in with the challenge at Creative Embellishments where there is a picture to be inspired by and to use at least one element and the extra criteria is something round.....

....I was inspired by the snow and my round element are the doilies either side of the photo.

The challenge closes at the end of the month so lots of time to be inspired!!

Birthday Card

When I finish a layout I am going to try (!) to use the odd bits left over to make a card!! Hopefully this will help me not keep loads of bits (just in case!) and also stock my card box!! This is the first one.....I used the papers left from my 'Ice cream' layout.

 

I used the sketch from Scrapping Everyday Miracles...

 

....the challenge closes at the end of the month so lots of time to join in!!

I am also entering the challenge at the Craft Barn.  The challenge is an Alpha/Dictionary challenge and this week the letter is 'B'. You have to pick something beginning with the week's letter, cut the definition from a dictionary and incorporate it in your project!!

I chose B - Birthday!! This seemed easy this week.....will I be able to continue as it gets harder???? LOL  Looking at the 'B's' that others have used I think I chickened out!!

The challenge closes on the 24trh January so time to join in!!
